Hard-Packed, Rocky Ground Test

up all right this is hard packed ground it's right off from the side of the driveway so this is where the cars come in and park to get around each other and it's full of rocks it's full of crap i don't know how well this area is going to be for a test ground but if we want to loosen up soil this is the spot to do it so let's just get on it oh this is gonna be but we were hitting rocks on the first one so we're gonna rock them [Music] rocks are the enemy of this thing they are they will stop it dead in its tracks and rightfully so there is not a lot of clearance between the actual shovel part of it and the auger every rock she hits she stops let's go close that's not me doing it it's this as soon as it hits a rock it stops so that's the anti-kickback kicking in right there and this is the rock she kicked out it does a good job of kicking rocks out yeah it'll kick the rocks out but this is called a roto shovel and part of it is a shovel and that means you should be able to just shovel yeah this did this on the first one too okay so pop the battery out i don't feel like getting my fingers crushed tighten it up battery is getting hot to the touch all right all we're getting is rocks
